Frequently Asked Questions

What are French tip acrylic nails?

They’re acrylic enhancements (often extensions) finished with a French tip design—either classic white or a colored tip.

Are acrylic French tips stronger than gel?

Acrylic is generally sturdier for length and reshaping. Gel can feel more flexible. Both can look identical; strength needs depend on your nail goals.

How often do I need a fill with acrylic French tips?

Most people get fills every 2–3 weeks, depending on growth. Waiting too long can increase the chance of lifting.

Will acrylic French tips damage my nails?

Nail damage usually comes from improper removal or over-filing. A gentle tech and careful soak-off/removal habits help protect the natural nail.

Can I get short acrylic French tips?

Yes. Acrylic isn’t only for long nails—you can use it to strengthen short nails and still do micro or thin French tips.
